it states that the default swappiness for Ubuntu is 60 but that a
value of 10 is recommended for a typical desktop application.  If that
is correct then why does a desktop install not assume that it is
'typical' and set the swappiness to 10?


That's community documentation. I'd ask the person who wrote it.

Do you mean ask him why the default is 60, or why he thinks that 10 is
better? If the latter then does the fact that the default is 60 imply
that the 'official' view is that for a typical desktop a value of 60
is optimum.
